Or someone uploading bad data to a music database...

Some discs are recognised by some kind of unique code, other schemes try
and figure out discs by number and length of tracks, or some sort of
checksum on audio content.

I've put in store bought discs and got bogus results.  I've put in a
self burnt disc, and had it identified as some completely different
commercial disc.

The system is far from perfect.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
